The District Fair.

1t is now becoming generally un
derstood that the District Fair in
this city will fall just a little Bit
| short of the State Fair at Reno. In
fact almost the same as the State
Fair moved up here, close to town
and away from the heat and dust
OF the Reno Fair grounds. The
same horses will contend Tor the
purses and the same exhibit o
thoroughbred cattle will be made
here. The APPEAL Is inclined to
believe that the exhibit here will
astonish good many sleepy people
who do not realize the sort of
country lying around the Capitol OF
the State.
The exhibits in all OF the de-
partmentS promise to be large ana
good and the men who are manag-
ing the mattpr propose to make the
District Fair close race with the
State Fair.

CleveIand,s Technicality.

After long delay q rather pc.
culiar pension case has been de.
clded against the claimant upon q
trivial technicality that deserves
! naught but the severest condemna.
ton. A true Union soldier, to es.
cape the appalling horrors of An.
dersonville prison, informed his
comrades, that, to avoid starvation
he would desert to the rebels, and
in short time, return and resume
his allegiance, which resolution he
faithfully carried out except for a
very brief period, fighting for the
cause of freedom throughout the
war. But now he is denied PEN
sion on the ground that he "aided
directly or indirectly the enemies of
the Government" Union soldiers
need not expect just treatment from
this soldier-hatlng Administration
when there is the least loop hole of
escape.

He stated that one NIGHT eiob.
days ago while sleeping in a house
IN tie village, himself and his wife
We're awakened by two loud reports.
They heard nothing further, and
concluded that the noise was merely
peal OF thunder, and went to
sleep AGAIN.
In the morning they were told
that they had heard the real old
cannon shots, which were fred from
a cruiser in pursuit of an American
fishing schooner.
THE FATAL SHOT.
The second shot struck one of the
schooner's masts, which fell with
the sails and turned the schooner
completely over on her side, when
she filed and sank Immediately.

Every mau on board went down,

The affair, he states, was Witness

rman, who were off the shore in a
owboat and who carried the news
ome.
After seeing the terrible result
her shots, the cruiser put to sea
nd was soon lost in the night.
The number of lives lost would
robably be from twelve to fifteen,
ossibly two or three more.
That the report did not come from

cream and flour, adding a peice Of but

rice, one onion, one potato, one tur-

stalks of celery, pepper and salt to
taste. Put on the chicken in water
and boil to ehreds. Strain the broth,
return to the kettle, and add rice, and
in about half an hour add potato, on

twenty minutes before serving, add the
celery, cut into small pieces, the toma.

serve very hot, and you will have a

An impromtu meeting of citizens was held
Monday evening the @, to entertain the ques-
ton of securing site for lock mandatory
proposed to be located in Fredonia. The OBJ
jest of the meeting was stated. to the effect
that George Smith, who had been engaged In
the manufacture of locks of every description
at lola for i've years past, had disposed Of his
buildings there, and desired to secure new
location, that he was more favorably impress
Ell with Fredonia than any other city in this
part of Kansas; that all he asked was certain
area of ground having suitable site and COM
prising about the extent Of two Of our large lots
Mr.. Smith was present at the meeting aud YER
fled the statement. A committee Of three was
appointed to accompany Mr.. Smith the day
following to select . site approved by him and
to make arrangements to purchase 1t. The day
following this was done and a. contract was
entered into blythe terms Of which Smith agreed
to move his institution to Fredonis. 1t Is ex-
pected that he will return here the early part
Of nextweek and begin the erection ofbuildings
He has about ten thousand dollars invested in
his manufacturing plant, employs from TWEEN
ty-fve.. to thirty-five hands, and manufactures
oil kinds of locks aud does other work In brass
and iron He stated that twenty five families
would come to Fredonia with him, the heads
thereof being among his permanent workmen.
The securing of these lock works may prove
the nucleus for the establishment of more sim
liar industrial enterprises and ultimately
cause Fredonia to become manufacturing CEN
ter. Mr.. Smith it is we'll to add, has had long
experience in his business, being q practical
machinist himself, and our hardware dealers
have kept his locks in stock for some time and
testify to their superior quality and the demand
for them In the market.-Fredonia Chronicle
We presume lola ought to he in sack
cloth and ashes over the threatened
exodus. But she isn't. She loves
Fredonia and if the presentation to her
of a little s10,OOO(?) Lock and Novelty
factory will make her happy, why take
it and welcome. lola is good deal

her poor, no more than receiving(L.
